Short Description

Archaeopteryx is a versatile high-end hang-glider in glider configuration with exceptional climbing ability. It has been designed for the foot of mountain slopes and start for a variety of other species such as bungee launch starting from the mountain or car, winch, aircraft, and UL-tow launch of airfields.

Qualities

The new carbon glider is particularly characterized by its minimal weight, the large area with very slow speed flight minimum speed, the good in all configurations to its adaptability and controllability coordinated by the flap. It impresses with its simple and very good handling and stable behavior.

Performance

Archaeopteryx offers the pilotthrough low sink rate and lowest airspeed outstanding climbing ability, which also use the weakest and closest updrafts (Micro-lift) allows. This exceptional rate of climb and good glide broad range flights also allow operation at low base and low altitude. The comfortable cockpit, boarded either open or full, together with the motivating fatigue-free flight behavior of long flights.

Controls

The aerodynamic controlis right-handed with the left hand side stick and served with the flap lever and the adjustable foot pedals. The wing has over the entire span of an efficient outside flap, aileron deflection superimposed on the inside and help to slow down as much extensible. The slow approach with variable valve insert allows small-scale stress-free hang glider landings on ordinary least squares and fields outside the country. Archaeopteryx is preferably landed on the chassis. The foot landing is possible.

Transport

Is stored in the super-light aircraftgently in the special holder system. For transportation and hangar is recommended as the lightweight special trailer "Clever trailer." Archaeopteryx is for frequent, very quick and easy assembly and disassembly designed.

Rescue System

For safety, the Archaeopteryxa specially developed and tested rocket-powered light-total rescue system. The pilot is by plane and rescue system securely.
